A friend of mine wants me to convert the aspect. It been a while since I ve done this. I m assuming you have to crop and pad? yes?
The video is clean it would be a shame to crop it. The original aspect is laser disc 4X3 How you go about doing this without stretching and cropping?
I did a test run through tmpeg it look stretched when out as 16X9 display
I have Tmpeg video mastering 6 , vegas , few other encoders.
I also have premier. I just to check with you guys make sure I m doing this right.
Most my projects dont entail coverting aspect ratios.
I leave them as they were originally intened I hate seeing the top of the actors heads cut off just nasty

I tried to explain those exact points. I personally will not convert an aspect. I leave it as it was originally intended. He insist on me doing this- Offered to pay me other wise I d tell him to ....Something that cant be said on this forum.

Okay, This movie was shot Big Man on Campus 1989 2.35 original aspect - vhs 4x3 but if you rent it on streamed sites it is WS - I explain this to this dude. so- I m tired of explain it my way...because I lack the patience -

So I need it explained in technical terms he can understand that a movie shot'
2.35 aspect ratio- released to laser disc and VHS are not going to be widescreen or as seen in theaters. for a movie from 1989 released to VHS.

I m tired of encoding this movie . I love the movies but I m done with encoding.
I think what i did is better than his copy.
3 encodes is my limit.
If someone would be kind enough to capture this for me.
I ll do menus etc... lmk
